5.0 out of 5 stars The Authorative Text on Modern Fighter Tactics, 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighter Combat: Tactics and Manoeuvring (Hardcover)
As a pilot soon to commence lead in fighter training, I have found this an indispensable guide. It is a textbook, holding little of interest for the general reader, but if you fly aircraft or wish to understand that supreme form of tactics in the three dimensional sphere, then it doesn't get better than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dry reading, but a "must-read" for combat pilots, 1 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighter Combat: Tactics and Manoeuvring (Hardcover)
This is not a book for the easily-bored. The style is straight-forward textbook with instructional diagrams and direct quotes from historical figures to underscore the lessons. If you're serious about air combat, then consider this to be your Bible. Flight sim pilots (particularly those who fly online with all realism factors turned on, or who fly sims such as SSI's Su-27 Flanker, MicroProse's Falcon series, Jane's F-15, Kesmai's AirWarrior, or even DID's EF2000 as stand-alone sims) will find this book to be invaluable as an educational tool. It also graces many libraries of real-life military squadrons, so those out there contemplating a career as a combat pilot can get a taste of what's in store for them if they decide to pursue a career in military aviation. But be warned - it'll stretch your mental muscles, so be prepared for glassy eyes and brain locks while you're reading it.

On content, this book is a "10". On entertainment, its a "5".

5.0 out of 5 stars The next best thing to a Topgun Instructor's Bible, 10 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighter Combat: Tactics and Manoeuvring (Hardcover)
I have read it a couple of times and everytime I pick up something new from within the text. This book is truly amazing. I wonder why Uncle Sam let this one slip by ? Who cares, I think this book is worth 6 stars out of 5. When is Shaw going to write the next volume?
